Four Nights @ $122/night

I wanted Oceanfront and was pretty sure that 3* would get me there. Started bidding at $65/night (rejected) and used North Melbourne area for free re-bids each time I bid.

$70 - rejected

$80 - rejected

$90 - rejected

$100 - rejected

$110 - rejected, but interestingly enough it said that I wouldn't have to wait 24 hours to re-bid if I added $12 to the bid (never saw that before). I tried to counter by adding $6, but they wouldn't let it go through. I bit the bullet, added $12 and got the win. Used Savingsbarn to start each bid. Internet room rate for this hotel was $206/night, so not too bad.

Congratulations on your win!

Thank you for sharing it with the board and for helping us add this property to the Priceline Hotel List.

When given a counter-offer as you were ("If you raise your bid....") you must increase by the amount stipulated to accept their offer. If you have re-bid zones available you can try to undercut it, but if out of re-bid zones, you need to increase by the amount they state.

Thanks for using the SavingsBarn.com PRICELINE links to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
